    - made of 100% human hair.  

    - average to massive chemically processed to variously style the hair.   

    - the most important trait that sets Remy hair from others is that the cuticle is about 90% intact, which helps all hair strands to flow in the same direction and minimize tangles or shedding.  

     

    • Jet black or off black and dark brown hair colour can be raw hair or virgin hair. Raw hair and virgin hair remain the original hair colour.  
    • Colours such as green, pink or red might be synthetic hair if you aren’t careful while buying. Synthetic hair is difficult to style as it is made of fibre. It can’t hold the curves or colours for long. It also has a much shorter lifespan than human hair.

    •  Black colour: This shade can go well with any skin tones but it is especially good for deep skin tone.  
    • Radical colours:  
    • Cool skin undertone: Warm colours such as pink, orange, green or yellow. 
    • Warm undertone: dark blue, blue, black purple, purple.
